Studio Indigo

What Studio Indigo does

Studio Indigo is a London-based luxury architecture and interior design practice founded in 2005 by Mike Fisher. The studio serves ultra-high-net-worth private clients, luxury hotel operators, superyacht owners, and premium commercial developers, delivering end-to-end design services from concept and architecture through interior architecture, FF&E specification, and on-site delivery. Anchor commissions include the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair hotel, positioning the practice within the top tier of UK luxury hospitality design. The studio operates with approximately 50 staff, consistent with a boutique, senior-led model rather than a scaled agency, and is founder-led with operational leadership formalized through a recent COO appointment.

The business model is project-based, with bespoke fee structures negotiated per commission and revenue concentrated in multi-year design and delivery engagements. Studio Indigo extends beyond pure services into brand and product collaborations — notably the Tiro Collection with hardware manufacturer Joseph Giles and the Philos bar concept developed with Scotch whisky brand The Glenrothes — indicating a deliberate move to capture downstream brand equity and product margin alongside design fees. The practice's competitive position is built on a 20-year portfolio of luxury credentials, trade relationships with specialist craftspeople and manufacturers, and access to UHNW referral networks; it does not rely on technology platforms or proprietary IP as a moat.

Geographically anchored in London, the studio serves international clients primarily through project-by-project engagement rather than through permanent offices abroad. Growth signals include deepening work in the superyacht segment, product-line extensions, and the formalization of operational leadership. The practice has no disclosed funding events; expansion appears to be funded organically through project fees and reinvested margin rather than external capital.
